Jace Billingsley, the former Detroit Lions wide receiver who retired from the NFL last year to pursue a career in music, said he used a still photo of Lions general manager Bob Quinn and president Rod Wood wearing clown noses in a recent music video as commentary on “people that take business more seriously than they do … personal relationships.”

“I don’t think Bob and Rod are bad people,” Billingsley said in a text message.
